Fandango is Herb Alpert's 1982 love letter to Latin music, and this CD edition brings back an album that leans fully into the rhythms of Mexico and beyond.

Following his late-1970s success with Rise and the funk-tinged Beyond, Alpert turned his attention to Latin sounds. Rather than chasing the dance floor, he surrounded his trumpet with bright percussion, sunny melodies and arrangements that recall the spirit of his early Tijuana Brass records, now with an added layer of sophistication and a lighter, more relaxed touch.

The title track sets a festive tone with bright horn lines and a dancing rhythm, while "Margarita" adds a breezy, sun-soaked mood. "Quiéreme Tal Como Soy" brings a tender, romantic change of pace, and the closing "Latin Medley" strings together classics like "Frenesí" and "Bahia" into one joyful sweep.

Alpert's trumpet sound is warm and clear throughout, phrasing each melody with the ease of a player who had nothing to prove and plenty of joy left to share. Tracks like "Route 101" and "Coco Loco" keep the energy up between the more reflective moments.

For fans of his catalogue and anyone drawn to classic Latin-flavored instrumentals, Fandango is a colorful and inviting listen, perfect for long dinners and slow summer evenings with friends.
